18. The correct answer C. Antibiotics in cases of Shiga Toxin Producing E. Coli have not been shown to be of clear benefit. Antibiotics that interfere with DNA synthesis such as fluoroquinolones, have been shown to induce bacteriophage and increase production of toxins. Lomotil should not be used unless the symptoms are causing significant dehydration. It may prolong the duration of the toxin. Symptomatic treatment is recommended with good hydration and close follow up.
